13mm Patent No. 83,190, dated october 2o, 1868.

BVIPROVEMENT IN' STATIONfINDICATORS.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

Figure l represents a plan view of a clock with the station-ilnlicator attached, and

Figure 2 is a side view ofthe latter.

The nature of my invention consists in a movable rim, placed around a clock, with the names ot' each station opposite the hour the train is due; also the time the train remains at each station, fixed upon the rim, with any other information the travelling-public is in need of.

'lo enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation.

Place the name of the station on the movable rim A, at the time the train lea-ves, andthe name of the last station at the time it is due there. The intermediate stations will be indicated by the time which the train should arrive at each, by having the names of the stations pnt in on the movable rim.

This rim A can be moved backward and forward to suit any schedule, and secured by the aid of a spring, B, so that, should the train lose any time, it can be changed very readily by the conductor; and when atrain -arrives at its destination, the rim can be reversed and placed according to the time of departlue, and show all the intermediate stations, andthe time of arrival at each, all the way back.

The names of the stations on each road are fixed upon this iim, according to the schedule they run.

`Having thus 'fully -described my invention,

That I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The movable and reversible rim A, when so arranged, with the names of the different stat-ions inscribed upon it, and in combination with a clock, that said clock will -show at a glance whenthe train or conveyance is due
